UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

ABIEL WOOD, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

SPOUT FOR OIL-PACKAGES.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 245,910, dated August 16, 1881.

Application {led June 21, 1881.

To all whom it mag] concern:

Be it known that I, ABIEL WOOD, a citizen ot' the United States, residing at Brooklyn,in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Spouts for Oil-Packages, ot which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to the construction of spouts for oil-packages, such as cans or barrels; and it consists in the combination ot' an inner or fixed spout-section and an outer or rotating spout-section connected together by means of screw-threads, a valve-stem projecting inwardly from the outer spout-section, and provided with branches to iorm the thumbpiecest'or rotatingthe outer section, and a valve at theinnerend ot' such stem, closing outwardly against a seat concomitant to theinner spoutsection.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l represents a vertical cross-section. Fig. 2 is a similar section, showing a modification.

Similar letters indicate correspondingparts.

The letter A designates the inner section, and B the outer section, ot the spout; O, the valve-stem; D, the valve, and E the thumbears.

Both spout-sections A B are formed of sheet metahand theyare provided with screw-threads fat their inner and outer ends, respectively, whereby they are connected together.

The inner section, A, is intended to be liXe-d to the oil-package, and in Fig. l l have shown it applied to the top of-a can, G, while in Fig. 2 it is represented as being applied to the head ot' a barrel, H. When it is applied to the can G the inner spout-section, A, may be soldered to the open bottom ot' the socket G', and in that case the inner end ot' this spout-section forms a seat for the valve D, while when it is applied to a barrel it may be provided with a screw-threaded shank, A', for insertion into the tap-hole ofthe barrel7 and constructed, more- (No model.)

over, with a valvechamber, A2, the outer portion ot' which forms the valve-seat.

The valve-stem O projects inwardly from the outer spout-section,B,through the center thereot', and the valveD is applied to the inner end ofthe stem to close outwardly, and it will be seen that by simply rotating the outer spoutsection on the inner one itis caused to recede from or approach the same, thus closing or opening the valve, as the case may be.

The thumb-ears E are formed by making the valve-stem O with lateral branches extending out through the side ot' the outer spout-section,B, and by their means the rotation ofthe outer section is obviously facilitated, while they do not materially add to the cost ofthe article.

The arrangement ol' the valve D to close out.- wardly is favorable to a tightjoint, and also has the effect ot' preserving the connection hetween the spout-sections.

The socket G forms part of a supportingphlte, I, and the inner spout-section, A, projects therefrom at an acute angle, thus occupying an inclined position.

Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, substantially as hereinhefore set forth, ot` the inner and outer spout-sections, connected together by means of screwthreads,l the valve-stem projecting inwardly from the outer spout-section, and having lateral branches bent to form thumb-ears, and the valve at the inner end of such stem closing outwardly against a seat concomitant to the inner spout-section.

In testimony whereofI have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
